Ok so I've got quite a few songs this week so I'm gonna keep the chit chat short. And the fact that I'm being dragged out the door to go Christmas shopping doesn't help.
Ellie Goulding - Your Song
If you've been on my blog this week or anywhere near a TV this week you must have seen the new John Lewis advert. This Elton John cover, by Ellie Goulding is just pretty blooming lovely to be honest. It was going to be my tip for Christmas number one, but as it's already in the charts, I don't know if it can last. Especially when X Factor starts cranking them out, but still a lovely rendition.
Jay Electronica ft Jay Z - The Dream - Shiny Suit Theory
No sooner had Jay Z announced that Jay Elec had signed to Roc Nation, Jay Elec had produced The Announcement (see last week's MM), and no soon had we heard that, we heard this collaboration with the label's master, Jay Z himself. Unsurprisingly it's pretty up there. Simple horn section accompanied by some great word-play from the two Jays. Nice.
Eminem Ft Dr Dre - I Need A Doctor
This is simply a great introduction from Eminem to signal the comeback of Dre, hopefully an album we'll get to hear somewhen soon. Scroll down for Dre's first single.
Dr Dre Ft Snoop Dogg & Akon - Kush
Here's Dre's first single back proper. It's good, but no amazing in my opinion. But then any song that features Akon is never going to register high in my estimations. But surely it's a good sign of things to come.
Tinashe - Pieces Of Paper
You may of heard of this guy. If not, I'm sure you will. He appears to be pretty much king of producing lovely songs usually simply via his mouth and guitar. He does have some songs with higher level of productions, which are also worth checking out. Give his Youtube and Myspace a look and you won't be disappointed, lovely stuff.
Pogo - Wishery
Yeah I don't know anything about this song, it maybe old, maybe new. But I do know it's good, really good.
Atmosphere - The Best Day
I've used the word lovely too much today. But this is a lovely bit of hip-hop, the pop-iest hip hop you can get. Some simply piano, old-school vibes and feel good lyrics. Really nice stuff.
